Item # : SCP-####

Object class : Keter

Special Containment Procedures : Due to its nature, each instance of SCP-####, requires specific containment procedures suited to the exact circumstances in which it occurs. Objects created by SCP-#### are to be designated SCP-####-1 and are to be forwarded to the initial contrainment unit until such time a permanent designation is applied.

Specific prevention procedures do apply. Each Foundation containment site containing multiple Euclid or Keter class objects are required to adhere to the following measures :

- Monthly Hume readings to determine accurate baseline Hume levels.
- Each containment site is to be fitted with Hume monitors and full-range spectometers designed to raise an alarm should readings indicate an instance of SCP-####-1.
- Such monitoring installations should be evenly distributed across the site, depending on the size and surface area, covering as much of the site as possible, allowing for the triangulation of inception sites.
-Each site should house at the very least 1 researcher (junior or above) designated to perform a daily check of the monitoring installations and to forward all readings to the SCP-#### research team.
- A researcher assigned to SCP-#### should be consulted when building new containment cells with regards to neighbouring containment cells and background Hume levels.
- In the case that an SCP poses a cognitohazard or the SCP is for any other reason highly restricted knowledge, a researcher assigned to the project should be briefed on SCP-#### containment and prevention procedures.
- Head researcher Dr. Johannsen is to hold an annual lecture on the cause, effects and containment measures regarding SCP-####. Any and all researchers, agents, council members and foundation personnel are invited to attend these lectures as often as possible.

Any new containment sites should take these measures into consideration going into the construction phase.

Description : SCP-#### is the process of euclidean procreation, in which the storage of multiple Euclid or Keter class objects in relative¹ close vicinity of each other, can create a new anomalous object or area, or project anomalous properties to common objects, temporarily designated SCP-####-1. This process, often incorrectly referred to as 'bleeding' or 'blending' by most researchers, does not appear to create anomalies with any specific traits of anomalous objects in the vicinity thought to be responsible for SCP-####-1.

Creation of SCP-####-1, referred to as an inception event, is usually accompanied by a steady lowering of Hume levels across several weeks or even months, followed by an immediate peak in background Hume levels at the moment of inception. The peak dies down in a timeframe relative to the drop in a 5:1 ratio. In rare cases, a small burst of electromagnetic radiation can be perceived, most notably in the extreme ends of the gamma and radio wave ranges. These bursts do not pose a danger in and of itself due to their low emission rate. Subjects in the immediate vicinity (<5m) of the inception point also report a metallic taste and a slight pressure on the ears, although these experiences can vary.

All instances of SCP-####-1 emit very low level gamma and radio wave emissions, and can be easily located using a gamma ray detector or by handheld radio. Due to the prevalent use of handheld radio equipment with security personnel, the latter has proven to be the most efficient way of locating inception points.

The timeframe in which instances of SCP-####-1 are created varies, depending on the size and deviation to the norm of each instance. The shortest timeframe recorded spanned 96 hours, resulting in the inception of a small, anomalous penny, with background readings normalising over a period of approximately 19 hours. The longest timeframe recorded spanned 42 days, resulting in the inception of SCP-███, with background readings normalising over 8 days. Incident ####-17 occured following a timeframe of approximately 20 days, normalising over 4 days. All inception events show similar drop rates over time, allowing the Foundation to accurately predict when such event is imminent.

Most instances of SCP-####-1 are benign and are later classed as Safe or simply anomalous. See incident logs. Standard precautions must be taken. It must be noted that the aforementioned features of the inception process do not take into account, the possible properties of the created instance.

To date, 8 instances of SCP-####-1 have been recorded. It is theorised, however, that at least double that number have been created, but are simply not anomalous enough or present no noticable features. Some are theorised to have been written off as side effects of other SCPs.

1. A penny which, when flipped, will always land "heads up". Logged as anomalous item.
2. A branded soft drink glass which causes every beverage drunk from it to taste like a certain brand of softdrink. Logged as anomalous item, accidentally destroyed.
3. SCP-███, transferred to secure storage locker at Site 19 after testing.
4. A small broom closet at sublevel 2 of Site 19 that now refills all containers of cleaning supplies placed in the closet. Logged as anomalous, but not contained, to the joy of the custodial staff.
5. [DATA EXPUNGED]. Currently in the possesion of 05-4.
6. A single sheet of white paper of quality typical to foundation documents, which wipes and replaces itself on the location it was initally found every 24 hours. It is still unknown which specific information was lost due to the nature of the object. Fortunately located in a filing cabinet at Area 43 secure document storage.
7. A bottle of Lagavullin whiskey that, upon testing, was revealed to be void of all alcohol, yet still provides the exact same taste as before. Logged as anomalous. Currently missing.
8. See incident log ####-17

On █/█/2004, at Area 43 secure document storage level 2, at approximately 0130 hours, monitor stations read a peak of Hume levels consistent with an inception event. Following initial sweep of affected area, no anomalous object was found, possibly due to the proximity of a Scranton reality anchor in place at the nearby SCP-████ testing facility. 14 hours after logging inital inception, an additional burst of electromagnetic energy of gamma and radio wave energy, is logged across all monitors onsite, with the epicenter being placed at the location of inception.

At the exact moment of this peak, a small implosion takes place in the corner of the office of Dr. Johannsen. Dr. Johannsen suffers minor injuries, reports a metallic taste in his mouth and pressure on the ears, though it is unknown to be due to the effects of SCP-####-1 or due to the implosion. A spherical shaped hole, measuring 2.3 meters in diameter, is found to have formed in the implosion. Any matter in the place of the hole is found to have vanished, in a perfect spherical pattern. Any destruction caused is suspected to be the result of the vacuum left behind by the disappearing of SCP-####-1 and neighbouring matter. It is to be noted that background Hume levels continued to drop until SCP-####-1 dematerialised.

I highly suspect that the created instance was simply not compatible with our level of reality and transferred to a more hospitable one. - Dr. Johannsen

Addendum ####-1A: Due to the nature of SCP-####, it is important for all foundation personnel to be made aware of SCP-####. In this regard, all sites are to be provided with leaflets, posters and educational material related to SCP-####. On-site lectures can be requested directly from the SCP-#### research team by any site administrative staff.

Addendum ####-24: The SCP-#### research team is currently tracking two suspected inception events.

Event 1 : Site 19, east wing. Hume levels have been recorded dropping from baseline of 0.9154 to 0.9081 over the course of 4 months. Inception event suspected to occur within the following month. Due to the danger of a containment breach following the inception event, Site 19 is to be monitored closely and to be locked down prior to inception.

Event 2 : Monitor stations in the city of ██████, █████████ report a drop from baseline of 0.9801 to 0.9698 over the course of 14 days. Inception event suspected to occur within 7 days. Due to limited Foundation presence in the area, it is assumed an anomalous storage facility under control of a group of interest is located somewhere within the city. MTF Delta-5 "Front Runners" are currently deployed on-site.
